Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنِ لَبِيبَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ الْمَزَارِعِ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانُوا يُكْرُونَ مَزَارِعَهُمْ بِمَا يَكُونُ عَلَى السَّوَاقِي مِنْ الزُّرُوعِ وَمَا سَعِدَ بِالْمَاءِ مِمَّا حَوْلَ النَّبْتِ فَجَاءُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاخْتَصَمُوا فِي بَعْضِ ذَلِكَ فَنَهَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُكْرُوا بِذَلِكَ وَقَالَ أَكْرُوا بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ.
English Translation
Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas reported that the owners of farms during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to rent their farms in exchange for what grew along the irrigation channels and whatever was watered naturally. They came to the Messenger of Allah disputing about some of this, so the Messenger of Allah said: 'Rent your land for gold or silver, and do not rent it for a share of the produce.'
